I would take the train, but it has already left the station. The story of my life, I’m afraid. In an affont to logic, my fascination with disappeared rail systems continues to grow.

For the last couple of days, I’ve been learning how to use one of those 3D floor plan packages. Needed to; there’s a new house that cries out for exploration. Virtual if necessary. and so, after careful consideration of a line drawing we received from the “house factory”, I put together a reasonable model.

Still have a couple of hours left “before the ball drops”. Enough time to weigh my possibilities and decide if watching other people party is relevant. I do have an invitation to a house party, thanks to son #2, but the logistics of getting there and back again are a heady barrier. I mean, the year would change, if I stayed late.

Feeling that none listen to what you have to say? Afraid that your wants and needs remain unnoticed by those around you? From now on, just go on some of the better social media sites mixed in with some online shopping. There. Feeing any better?

Nothing left on my list to do, except wait for the freezing rain to begin. I picked up more food related items this morning, before the personal energy shortage set in. We’re good for a couple of days “close to home”. And the people who bring gifts (that’s you, CanPost and UPS) are outstanding. All deliveries in, before the scheduled dates. That’s service!

In the “no sense planning” category: tonight’s supper effort. An outstanding pot of fajita filler, with just the right consistency to my sauce (less is more).

Another day. Another day. It’s true! Retirement turns the week into a limitless weekend, with only the calendar (and the scheduling bumps brought about by those in the retail class) to interfere.

Faced with a shortage of milk, I opened the local supermarket this morning. Of course, my brand of milk was out of stock, but there were other needs at home. Shopped for a bit and the lad with the super-pallet clued in that an empty cooler did nothing for sales. Saved.

There’s something about a well-built home. After all, unless you are in to “shanty” decor, the charm of properly designed and engineered walls and floors and windows and doors is sublime. And, after reading the House book by Tracy Kidder (twice) I have an idea about what I shouldn’t do. Top of the list: lowball the budget.

Park the GTO, Jake. Other things to get done. Seriously, after six seasons, ROD has ended. With the content packed into the final five minutes, I’m still a bit out of breath. Good work!
